Built to redefine luxury

Meticulously restored with an eye for every last little detail, this 1993 Mercedes-Benz G-Class 230E project represents one of Legacy Overland’s most comprehensive builds yet, tailored exclusively to the client’s vision. Every element of this Teutonic beauty has been reimagined and enhanced, from a completely rebuilt engine to custom-designed, luxury interiors, bringing together rugged performance with a uniquely refined aesthetic. This project is beyond a mere restoration; it is a deep reinvention that fuses vintage authenticity with elevated, modern craftsmanship. Talk about traveling in style!

At the heart of this overhaul is the fully restored 2.3L OM102 G230 engine, featuring rebuilt internals, fresh gaskets, injectors, and upgraded sensors for optimal efficiency. Every detail has been carefully addressed, ensuring the engine runs smoothly and delivers the power expected from this iconic off-roader. Additionally, the automatic gearbox and transfer case have both been thoroughly inspected and overhauled, providing the dependable performance needed for both city driving and rugged terrain.

Painted in an elegant metallic bronze, this G-Class wears glossy and satin black accents and trim. The soft top is handmade in black mohair, offering a sophisticated take on the classic G-Wagen look. AMG 20” alloy wheels with BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires ground this build in serious off-road capability and tons of street presence. Backing this up is a host of unique touches like a Canadian military-style snorkel, bull guard with headlamp grilles, side runners, and winch that promise unstoppable performance. Don’t get in the way of this one.

Inside, this 230E is a study in handcrafted luxury. Saddle-colored leather upholstery, accentuated by dark-gray piping, graces the forward-facing rear seats and the custom front door cards. A vintage Mercedes steering wheel, wrapped in wood and leather, adds nostalgic charm, while premium, German square-weave carpeting and high-gloss wood flooring elevate comfort. Storage boxes, USB ports, and a hidden AC system combine function with design, while an upgraded Sony Bluetooth system with leather coverage ensures modern connectivity without compromising classic aesthetics. With every element rethought and refined, Project Munich is crafted for those who demand not just a vehicle, but a true legacy on the road.
